  Fulton 
  

  

  The 
  next 
  township 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  in 
  the 
  Schoharie 
  valley 
  is 
  

   Fulton 
  which 
  lies 
  to 
  the 
  southwest 
  of 
  Middleburg 
  and 
  east 
  of 
  

   Summit. 
  Its 
  eastern-central 
  part 
  is 
  crossed 
  by 
  the 
  Schoharie 
  

   river 
  bordered 
  by 
  steep 
  and 
  high 
  hills 
  that 
  south 
  of 
  Fultonham 
  

   on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  and 
  north 
  of 
  Breakabeen 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  side 
  

   have 
  nearly 
  perpendicular 
  cliffs 
  several 
  hundred 
  feet 
  in 
  hight. 
  

   The 
  western 
  line 
  of 
  hills 
  is 
  broken 
  by 
  the 
  creek 
  at 
  Fultonham 
  

   and 
  again 
  by 
  Panther 
  or 
  Kenhuragara 
  creek 
  between 
  Fultonham 
  

   and 
  Breakabeen, 
  and 
  the 
  eastern 
  line 
  by 
  Keyser's 
  creek 
  and 
  a 
  

   brook 
  at 
  Breakabeen. 
  

  

  XXXVII 
  C. 
  In 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  Middleburg 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  

   the 
  Schoharie 
  river 
  is 
  Moheganter 
  hill 
  which 
  extends 
  into 
  Fulton 
  

   township. 
  Three 
  miles 
  southwest 
  of 
  Middleburg 
  village, 
  near 
  

   the 
  schoolhouse 
  of 
  district 
  no. 
  11, 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  is 
  cut 
  by 
  a 
  

   small 
  brook 
  and 
  at 
  this 
  locality 
  a 
  road 
  leaves 
  the 
  river 
  road 
  and 
  

   climbs 
  to 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  high 
  hill. 
  A 
  section 
  was 
  measured 
  from 
  

   the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  Schoharie 
  river 
  along 
  the 
  brook 
  and 
  highway 
  to 
  

   the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  at 
  this 
  locality 
  which 
  from 
  a 
  geological 
  stand- 
  

   point 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  interesting 
  study. 
  The 
  section 
  is 
  near 
  the 
  Middle- 
  

   burg-Fulton 
  township 
  line 
  being 
  partly 
  in 
  each 
  township, 
  and 
  its 
  

   base 
  is 
  about 
  opposite 
  Watsonville 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   river. 
  The 
  lower 
  200 
  feet 
  are 
  covered, 
  largely 
  by 
  sand; 
  but 
  then 
  

   a 
  ledge 
  of 
  coarse, 
  arenaceous 
  shales 
  and 
  thin 
  sandstones 
  (C 
  2 
  ) 
  is 
  

   reached. 
  This 
  ledge 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  woods 
  where 
  it 
  forms 
  a 
  cliff 
  30 
  

   feet 
  high. 
  The 
  dip 
  is 
  between 
  If 
  and 
  2° 
  S, 
  70° 
  W. 
  The 
  rocks 
  

   contain 
  abundant 
  Hamilton 
  fossils 
  and 
  belong 
  near 
  the 
  middle 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  formation. 
  The 
  following 
  fauna 
  was 
  obtained:

  species.
